Identifying and Sorting 3D Shapes

Mrs. Merritt introduces a lesson on identifying and sorting 3D shapes. The class focuses on recognizing shapes like spheres, cubes, cones, and cylinders. Students participate in an interactive activity to sort shapes and are then instructed to go on a scavenger hunt around their homes to find real-life examples of these shapes. The lesson concludes with instructions for an exit ticket where students share their findings.
